Show best sellers box permanently

I would like to show this box all the time not just when a customer logs in

I am useless at programming :(

I tried changing the word false in line 13 to "true" - see encllosed screenshot

Then I tried commenting out the whole test down to line 26, then down to line 29.
None of these actions caused the best seller box to show, instead I lost the whole centre column :)
I am sure there is an easy way to do this, please :)

Re: Show best sellers box permanently

The Bestsellers sidebox displays at all times on my stock Zencart test site, so we'll need a link to your site to help.

Re: Show best sellers box permanently

Thank you for your quick reply.

Here is the link to my site (in English version)

I attach a screenshot of my tools/layout box controller configuration and a screenshot that shows where my standard bestsellers.php file is stored.
I have min value set to 1 and max value set to three and people have bought stuff from my site so there is data :smile:

I earlier found a thread that said the best sellers box only shows when you are logged in.
I incorrectly assumed this was my problem :blush:
Now I tested with a test login and the best sellers box still does not show, the quick reorder box shows up correctly.

I am using the standard "green" template v1.5.1 and I attach a screenshot with the addons that I installed.

Thanks again for any help, if you have any questions then do not hesitate :)

Re: Show best sellers box permanently

I noticed today that the Best seller box is showing up OK. :smile:
No idea why this changed :(

Maybe I changed something that fixed it but I did not see the change because there was a cache somewhere that delayed seeing the change?

Or maybe a kindly alien fixed it :wacko:
